In July, Screen Rant posted the first trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. That trailer was more of a teaser and I really dug it personally. Today, we have for you the brand new trailer, released internationally for your viewing pleasure.
I should probably let it be known that I am not a Harry Potter fan. The running joke amongst my movie-going friends is that I refuse to see them in theater even when we organize group events to do so. To this day, my record holds and I’ve not seen any Harry Potter film on the big screen. It’s not that I dislike the films (I enjoyed them on DVD), it’s just that I haven’t felt motivated ever to see these. There are many reasons why and you could probably find some of them by reading the comments in previous Screen Rant threads on the topic.

However, there’s a good chance I’ll see at least one of the next three in theater though (remember, Harry Potter 7 is two movies) since I want to start reviewing movies and these are probably important ones to see.
With each installment in the franchise, the films seem to be turning more and more into a visual spectacle loaded with intense special effects. From the trailer, this film is clearly no exception.
Take a look for yourselves and see what you think:
The film appears action-packed and more mature-themed then ever as we see Harry, Hermione and Ron along with the rest of our familiar residents of Hogwarts growing up into young adults. The trailer shows Ron and some girl (Lavender Brown) making out(!), Harry trying to be a playboy and lots and lots of fire. I guess these are the three key marketing points this time around.
Harry Potter 6 was originally scheduled for release on November 21st but Warner Bros. pushed the date all the way back to next summer for it to act as a summer tentpole event. This caused a big stir amongst the fans because it was very last-minute and even though the film appears to have been completed (or very near completion), we won’t see it in theaters until July 17th, 2009. To me, this makes no sense because this film will make an insane amount of money and everyone who wants to see it, will see it whether it be November or July, but I suppose studios want to vie for the title of “biggest summer box office.”
Interestingly, the trailer ends by stating “this year.” So does that mean it still is coming soon in the U.K.? That’s extremely doubtful since it was announced to come out there on July 17th, 2009 like everywhere else. Unless of course they want this to be the most pirated movie of all time. Maybe this trailer is older and just wasn’t released till now. But even that is strange because the text at the end is the easiest and quickest part to fix.
What do you think of the trailer?
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is due out July 17th, 2009.

Wow looks to be the best movie in the series yet. The movies leave a LOT of details, character development, etc. out that the books provide. I totally agree with the more mature comment made. The thing with the series (and I personally thought it very unique and kudos to Rowling for this approach even if accidental)was that as the characters grew up the content and writing stylings grew up also. When the first book hit the market the main characters were pre teen kids excited to be going to school. The series is told from their POV and as they mature and grow up so does the story
Uh…that’s not Hermione kissing Ron, that’s Lavender Brown. Friendly hint: if you don’t want to earn the ire of the very obsessed fandom, you may want to also read the books before you begin writing reviews…they help with little details like that one, which is a big deal to the fans. :o)
I know I was laughing to when I read that it was Ron and Hermione kissing. This does look like it will be the best in the series and thankfully darker more mature film. If anyone doesn’t listen to mugglecast Eric got to see a early screening and he talks about the film without giving to much away and anyone who listens to mugglecast have read the books so spoilers are scarce.
That looks like it might be the best in the series.
So dose this mean WB is not going to trow a hissy fit over the leaked trailer. I listened to the live mugglecast yesterday, it was awesome.
Yeah make sure you know who doing (kissing) what before you post an article. And you should go see the movies in the theaters its a completely different experience.
The error has been fixed. I’ve not read the books (obviously) and I clearly didn’t notice who it actually was from the split-second scene, heh. Then again, that was my angle of the article, hehe.
it looks like its gonna be the best one yet. i cant wait for it to come out. such ashame we all have to wait until july
Yeah it does make the story sound better if it was them making out. but thanks for changing it!
Looks fantastic! I’ve never been too into these movies, but still look foreward to all of them. The last one started getting more serious and “dark” and it was easily the best so far. But the “dark” theme in the two trailers I’ve seen for this is awesome. Can’t wait.
im excited for the new movie. Ive read all the books and I have to say this was my least favorite but mabey the movie will be better.
So what do you think Rob, are they gonna surprise us with a late December release? or were they just too lazy to remove the date?
i love you harry potter so mutch thank you
Hey Rob, if you are going to see an HP movie in the the theaters for the first time, might I make a suggestion?
IMAX. Definitely.
I’ve only seen the last two movies in the theaters, since I didn’t become a fan until 2005. When the last movie came out I saw it on a regular screen first, and then went to an IMAX screen. I tell you, nothing compares to seeing it on IMAX, even if they don’t have the 3-D effects (which HBP will have for the last 20 or 30 minutes, I believe).
That being said, some of my buds saw the last one in IMAX and it had two sequences where they put on their 3D glasses. That sounds pretty cool.
I doubt it. I can’t think of any reasonable explanation for it saying ‘this year’ in the trailer.
They’ve already committed to it being released next summer, and they made a point of making it a world-wide release on that day.
I don’t think they want to stir up the fans anymore, now that the fires are settling, hehe.
” cuz ur the chosen one”
well alright NEO.
give it a rest !
Lol
Omg this is defenitly very teasing, omg July is ages away, wish they made it like febuary or something not JULY
i can’t believe how greedy and selfish the people at WB are! but i suppose they have to be that way… I know this is just going to end up biting them in the as*es though, because, with the whole world of andgry harry fans and geeks out there, odds are the movie will somehow be leaked. And WB will lose so much more than they stood to lose if they released it when they promised! However, a die hard fan like me will still pay her $9.50 and see it at the movies…
Oooo, I can’t wait til this comes out. The darker content seems to be pulled off very smoothly. I can’t wait to see what they do with Draco and Snape! That’s going to be action packed for sure.
And I just love it…”She’s only into you cause your suppose to be the chosen one you know…. But I am the chosen one” ^_- Harry’s getting all smirky on us.
Only can anyone tell who the girl is supposed to be?
As for the fact that they moved the movie date. I think the opening weekend should be boycotted…that will at least hit them where it hurts and get the point across. Then I can happily go see it in the theater a week alter ^_^
Hey, Cali, Rowling is an excellent author, and there was nothing accidental about the growing maturity of characters, plot, or writing style. She knew exactly what she was doing!
Rob, your review of the movie according to the trailer was worded well but sadly lacking in accurate details or understanding of the story. My reccommendation: if you plan to review something intelligently, you definitely need to do the research prior to writing. In the case of Harry Potter, reading the books is a necessity if you intend to comment on the movies since the screenplays leave whole chunks of important stuff out…understandable considering the length and intricacies of the books.
And hmr, I saw The Prisoner of Azkaban in IMAX and was sadly disappointed. It didn’t seem any better to me than viewing it at my neighborhood Harkins. The seats weren’t even as comfortable! The only good thing about it was that I have an Educator’s Pass so was able to see it for free! Now if they show it in 3D, I’ll be there for sure!!!
Great trailer. I believe the girl eye’ing Harry is Romilda Vane (if the movie stays close to the book).
I think it’s naive to believe it wasn’t released this year for any reason other than it STUNK!!! They spend $100+ million on a movie, and then they sit on it for 9 months to make $350 million in July 2009 rather than $330 million in October 2008. “Ridiculous”. The fact that the trailer still says “This Year” is mind boggling, because they’ve known the 2008 release date for months & months & then bumped it to 2009. It’s just another example of WB / Rowling film-making sloppiness and cheapness. Greed at the expense of the dedicated fans.
Hiring directors that are cheaper, composers, marketing firms, and getting Rowling overly involved in the screenplay will create 3 movies with fantastic special effects, and thinned out plots that are meaningless to non-fans (OotP), and frustrating to longtime fans.
(P.S. - I’ve seen the midnight opening for the last three films in IMAX & it is worth it for the ultra-big screen experience & more importantly for the CRAZY fan excitement and participation in the movie watching - The fans in costume are great too!)
This movie looks absolutely AWESOME!!!
But, we (as a family) were truly looking fwd. to it opening next mo. NOT next yr.–VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! 
I don’t understand; if the film’s finished already, then why push the opening back all the way to next summer?! It’s stupid, selfish, & greedy–also not fair to the fans are so incredibly devoted & loyal. We’ve been waiting long enough–come on–move it back to Nov. already!
I understand the frustration - I feel that way myself about J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” being pushed back a similar amount of time from this December to next May.
But as to accusations of “greedy studios,” folks need to remember that a movie studio is a *business* above all else (believe it or not). They spend millions to make movies and the goal is to make as much money as possible from that investment.
For a studio it’s death to not have at least a couple of big summer movies, and with the writers’ strike delaying so many productions, things are being shuffled to fill the Summer ‘09 vacuum.
Vic
Anyhow.. What someone said about this movie stinking, ummm….Doubtful…..
They try to say Writer’s Strike, etc… The truth of the matter is, after Warner Brothers….said this, and this about The Dark Knight and not wanting to have all the success because of Heath Ledger’s death and such, they did exactly that….. Dark Knight made 540million in the United States alone, and they were going to milk it for all it is worth…. Yes there was a writer’s strike, but this movie was done months ago….Writer’s Strike only affects new production…..The script was already done on this….They started filming it in September of 2007
@Michael
The writers’ strike causes a delayed reaction. No writing happening earlier this year affects movies that wouldn’t have been released until next summer. So there is a dearth of “big” movies coming out and Warners decided to use this one to fill in that gap.
Vic
Hey Michael, you need to check your facts. The Dark Knight producers, after gaining permission from Ledger’s parents, continued the advertising plan for Dark Knight that was already in place before Ledger’s death. By the way, it hasn’t quite grossed $530 million in the US, yet.
As someone already pointed out, WB is out to make as much as possible on HBP…it’s their responsibility to their company to do so. If they deem a summer opening to be more advantageous, that’s what they will do. If we consumers don’t want to contribute to their box office take, just don’t go to the movie.
Quite honestly, I’m happy that the movies are getting darker and starting to reflect the “book” HP more. Before, it was all too fairy tale. In the books, Harry was absolutely NOT that naive or kind. In fact, the indecision in saving Cedric Diggory was the BEST movie display of the “true” HP.
I have to say, I think this one will finally draw in the people who have been abstaining simply because the movies are “juvenile” and lack the intricate book plots.
And as for WB pushing the premier back to July 09, I’m not all that devastated. At first, I was livid. But with Twilight filling HP’s spot and HP being released to theatres in July, I think that was smooth planning on WB’s part. Why compete with Twilight (which, by the way, is generating a HUGE spark) when they can fill in the gap of Summer 09?
Just one Question…..
if it is still coming out NEXT YEAR….Why is there a banner on this page to ORDER TICKETS NOW!! with a countdown for the original release date saying ‘Forever begins in 20 days” ????????? are they pushing it back to the original release date!?!?!?
@Anthony
Um, TWILIGHT opens this year, Harry Potter opens next year. The ads are for Twilight.
Vic
Oops nevermind….
i wish they would though…
I thought the girl was Hermine (?) i got excited and didn’t think…
THIS MOVIE LOOKS AMAZING!!! I love all the Harry Potter films and I’m ALWAYS excited to go see them…even though this one doesn’t come out for another 9 months…I’m so EXCITED!!! This movie looks like it’s going to be Brilliant, just like all the others!
Please no one mention Twilight….this has nothing to do with Twilight. It’s about Harry Potter. I’m sure there’s a Twilight section somewhere on this site. Please and Thank You.
For everyone commenting on pushing to the movie back for a summer release- I found an article and The Justice League Alliance (right JLA ?) movie was set to be released for that summer and due to the strike, they had no script and that was one reason they switched HP. Which in the business sense would make sense.
~Vic is right, often I think people forget a studio is a business first and foremost.
~dlmca- AH! Romilda…I knew it had to have been someone mentioned a bit.
Love the trailer!
One reason I heard for pushing the movie’s release to 2009 was because Daniel Radcliffe is staring on Broadway in Equus - in which he appears nude! WB thought it wasn’t appropriate to have their star in both a nude scene in a play and a movie aimed at younger audiences at the same time.
WoW I love this book. It actually made me cry at the end. hehe. But I can’t wait. I was disappointed when I found out it came out in JUlY instead of November 21st as it had been set. and I dont think that because the film is coming out in the summer that it will help with the amount of people going. I believe if a person wants to go see a movie they will no matter what month or the weather. I remember when I believe it was the 4th movie came out and it came out in November and it was sold out I had to wait about 3 days so I could go and see it.Its just a shame that warner brothers are more concerned with a title that providing their customers with satisfaction. WB is still going to get their money.
As to your comment about the amount of fire in the trailer, if you had read the book you would know that there is a lot of fire used. Also Dumbledor has a reason for the insane amount of fire. Read the book first. Then you’ll know what’s going on.
i cannot wait for this movie. more Tom (Malfoy) can never be a bad thing;
and about the opening, isnt it because of Twilight? and the fact that they didnt need two huge opening in one month? i thought thats what i heard, maybe not.
but im excited none the less (:
No, it was because they could get it opened in more IMAX theatres in July. Something like 60% more I think.
@Nadine:
YOU’RE COMPLETELY RIGHT! The MAIN reason WB decided to push back the 6th Harry Potter film is because the writer’s strike affected them just like it affected everyone else. WB has NO SCRIPTS which means they have NO MOVIES for the summer 2009…so they decided to push the Harry Potter film back so that they would have a movie to release during that time. Another reason is obviously MONEY, but I don’t care because I want the the Harry Potter films to make TONS of Money so that they can keep making them better and better…plus Summer movies are more fun anyways because more people go to see them. : D
If I read all the books then I would be a knowledeable veteran and fan of the series… the whole point of me wanting to write this is because I don’t know anything about the series and the angle is that I actually think this next film will be good and that it could draw me in…as a non-fan becoming a fan.
No, I didn’t miss your point but am questioning whether or not your assumption is valid that you are not a fan. You state that you don’t know anything about the series, but you said you have enjoyed watching the previous movies on DVD, i.e. you do know something about the series and you must have been enough of a fan to want to see the DVDs. Are you gauging your fandom on whether or not you’ve seen the movie at the theater?
If you want to be taken seriously as a movie reviewer, you will need to be more knowledgeable about your subject matter than your readers whether you are a fan or not. Otherwise your credibility as a reviewer will come into question.
@mattali
Sorry, a prerequisite for reviewing a movie (or heck, even TALKING about it) does not necessarily include having read the book it is based on.
A movie should work as a standalone piece of storytelling for people who are not familiar with the source material.
Vic
It is true, Vic, that reading the source material is not a prerequisite for discussing/reviewing a movie. However, if a person wants to gain credibility as a reviewer, knowing your subject (at least in movie form) is crucial. Because HP is a series, I think it would be very difficult to have a review of one of the later movies taken seriously if the writer was not familiar with the plots as they have been developed in the earlier movies in the series.
@mattali
First off, Rob is not reviewing a movie - he’s just talking about a movie trailer. And what is the purpose of a movie trailer? To introduce an upcoming film to people who don’t know anything about it.
Rob doesn’t review movies here at Screen Rant, he just covers movie news. I can tell you that when I review a movie (and no doubt most other reviewers do the same) I do not go do “research” before writing a review. I go see the movie, note what I like or dislike about it, how it impacts me, then I go home and write a review. I take it in just as the average person would.
Now if this were a Harry Potter website I would agree with you 100% on the need to be familiar with the books.
Best regards,
Vic
Rob wrote in his review of the trailer “However…since I want to start reviewing movies…”
That quote was what I was speaking to especially since his review of the trailer had erroneous information in it. Because trailers are such a string of isolated snapshots of a story, that is easy to do and one must write a rather open-ended review as well as avoid jumping to conclusions. My point is that it’s easy to make mistakes if you are uninformed. It’s difficult to take movie reviewers seriously if their reviews are loaded with misinformation.
By the way, thank you for your comments, Vic. I appreciate them.
@mattali
Doh! I missed that.
Glad to have you join us here, BTW. Always happy to have another intelligent, well-spoken commenter join the fray.
Vic
Thank you, Vic! You are very kind! I have enjoyed the discussion and reading the views of others. There are some very avid HP fans here with some interesting comments.
Had I seen this movie, would I not then know what happened within it? That review would then have no misinformation.
I still don’t understand your point. It sounds like you think before someone gives an opinion on something, they must have read/seen ALL the prior material on it. As an example, can people who’ve not read the watchmen graphic novel comment on the trailer?…or review the film when it comes out? They don’t know the story…or the characters…or how it plays out…
And again, This isn’t a review and I am not reviewing the books or prior movies. Eventually, I would like to review movies on my own but that has nothing to do with this, other than me pointing out that I should see more of these films (which I mention).
Even more to the point, I don’t know how much more I can clarify the point that I’ve not read the books, I’ve not seen the last film, and I haven’t seen any in theatre. Again, that was the angle.
Your mention of the Watchmen issue is a good one since I’ve only seen the trailer for the movie otherwise I know nothing about the story or characters, so I will use that and myself as an example. I’m not saying that if a person isn’t an expert on something they “can’t” write about it; what I’m saying is that if one is lacking knowledge on a topic but would like to write about it, they must do so carefully. Because of that for example, I don’t feel I’m qualified to make any comments on Watchmen other than that the trailer did not make me want to see the movie. Anything else I’d write concerning it, I fear, would show my ignorance and be a waste of time for true fans to read, and at best would be misleading to anyone who, like me, wasn’t already familiar with the story. I know there are many fans out there who are much more enlightened and capable of writing an accurate reflection on the trailer. And who knows, if they do and I read them, maybe I’ll change my mind about seeing the movie.
Did that help to clarify what I was trying to say, or was it even more confusing?
But that’s just how you would choose or choose not to write about something and there lies the difference.
I really wanted to write about this with the purpose of talking about me being completely new to Harry Potter and knowing barely anything about it.
Basically, I don’t know much about this topic and I didn’t enjoy trailers and the marketing material for the previous films enough to draw me in. These new trailers for this film in particular are changing that and I wanted to write about it and explain my personal background on the matter.
Screen Rant doesn’t just report news, and we don’t just write about things we are knowledgeable about. How many of our writers do you think have read Twilight? None. But we have a pile of articles on that. We write about what we like to write about, what we think people may enjoy reading or knowing about and we give our own opinions on the news rather than just feed readers info ripped off of sources.
The issue is, you’re not into that system or you don’t like my opinions on this specific piece. Either way is cool and our goal is to encourage discussion. However, when you post as you did, almost in an attempt to tell us what we should or should not do (or in this case me), that’s not a great comment to read. And it sounds like you forget that it’s just your opinion on how you would do things differently.
If you would like to write in your way somewhere, that’s awesome, I encourage it. But what you think may be a “waste of time for true fans to read” is just that, what you think. Perhaps true fans may be interested in the gag that I’ve not seen all the prior movies and I need some motivation to see the next, etc. etc. Or that they may be able to turn a non-fan into some who looks forward to see the upcoming films. Or maybe, I want to write an article to make fun of something I know nothing about because it has a terrible poster or a rediculous cast. Why can’t I do that? Maybe it’s a good read for someone and I can relay some info about the movie that some may want to know. The point is, it’s my choice and part of what we do here at Screen Rant. More importantly, It’s my effort being put into the articles, heh.
Check out my other articles though, I love comments and the more the merrier.
-Rob
I don’t mind your opinions, Rob, it was the misinformation that bothered me. Your opinions are yours to make, and you can write as many as you’d like. When you stray outside the realm of opinion; however, it’s wise to check your facts before writing just to make sure you remain a credible author.
Or were there many many many other mistakes still in the article? Geeze man.
“I love comments and the more the merrier.”
After reading your last post, I’m afraid you don’t love my comments!
That’s ok; I’ve not taken offense.
But to answer your question, except for the misuse of a word (one that is commonly misused), it looked good to me. I thought originally there were also some misspellings, but if your article was where I saw them, you have corrected them.
You take offense? what about me!
Your comments made it sound like I messed every detail and fact and it was full of crazy horrible (and sad) misinformation when all I did was guess the wrong lady from the one-second scene. I’m forgiving myself on that one since I’ve not read the books but know who Ron ends up with.
My fact-checking doesn’t including “Who does Ron kiss in this scene is this movie”, hehe, especially since I *thought* I knew who it was. Me = wrong, but corrected a long time ago
You are free to take offense if you’d like even though I didn’t intend to give it.
“I ‘thought’ I knew who it was.”
Knowledge is power. 
That was my point. Staying in the realm of opinion is safe. You take real chances when you jump to conclusions…especially if the jump is the wrong way!
Now on to my newer posts, I would love to see your comments on them. Especially the Superman one.
Hm, Superman…I’m not sure I can give much input there. I’m rather new to the whole comic book genre. I know a little about Batman but only because of the movies.
Wow! I never read the comments on Screen Rant. I just came here to see the HBP trailer. But, I wanted to know what everyone’s opinion was and came across the discussion between Mattali and Rob. I liked reading your posts especially since they are more mature (meaning mainly younger people post). I have to ask then, Rob, are there any openings at Screen Rant? If you don’t need to do any research on anything you see or write, I’d imagine I could do what you do! But, I must add (just as a friendly jab), I read most of the books understand Mattali’s point. (I will be reading HBP before the movie comes out) Heck, he writes extremely well. Maybe he should review for Screen Rant.
Hey, TJ, thanks for your comments. Good for you in regard to your desire to write.
I also have a question for Rob…where do I find your Superman post?
Nevermind, Rob, I found it!
I have to say that this has been one of the more interesting threads i have read in a while. When writing on anything you must be prepared to be critiqued by others particularly those with more information about a topic. This is a good thing it helps us learn and explore topics and opinions. And of course it makes writing and reading interesting
As a personal note, in other words my opinion, I don’t think any film based on a book can be reviewed or critiqued without the book being read also. The reason there is a film is because of the book, so how that film brings the story to life is very important. This i why i did not like the HP: Goblet of Fire film as it was all visual effects and no substance and the book had a lot substance. Hopefully this film will not be the same.
Again, of COURSE a movie based on a book can be critiqued on its own. A movie is a stand alone piece of work, regardless if it was based on an older movie, TV show, short story or novel.
You can say you don’t like how certain aspects were CHANGED, but you shouldn’t have to read a book as a prerequisite to seeing a film.
What I might agree with is that a review would be influenced by someone having read the book, and that would cause them to look at the film differently - which would be of greater interest to fans of the source material.
But it’s not a requirement.
Vic
Nic82 wrote “This is why I did not like the HP: Goblet of Fire film as it was all visual effects and no substance and the book had a lot substance.”
You are correct. I was very disappointed as well with the film. Visual effects are great when done well, but they are no substitute for a solid plot. I fear that the second suffered greatly because of the emphasis on the first in that film. It also dropped or minimalized key story lines which is very difficult to reconcile in the ensuing films. I wonder if that’s why they feel they need to make the last book into two movies…are they using that as their “catch up” time?
hi to all i have a question the game and movi should have the premier on 17 november and new are they stupyd 6 months later wtf is hapening?email me if anyone has a good anser to this.
well the trailer looks amazing, very cool. i just love it. I AM completly upset b/c of the fact the they’re post-poning the movie for next summer, but come on WE ALL KNO , that TWILIGHT is coming out on nov. 21, as Harry potter was too, thats why the changed the date tho. EVENtho i think it was a little way too exagettared that summer 09 has to be the date it doesnt matter. but its 4sure that twilight was going to take over NOVEMBER, fans have been waiting 4 it, n if harry comes out the same date IT WOULD BE LIKE A BIG CHAOS!. SO i LOVED THE HP TRAILER, HOPE IT GOES AWESOME,
Something i 4got to mention, I MOVIE WOULD NEVER BE BETTER THAN A BOOK. books a filled of magic, details, and feelings. movies are just a fair of effects trying to make up for the book that obviusly MOST of the time wont be better then the BOOK itself.
ies i new that the books are great but i wasa afraid that the movi will apera in 2009 i hope is a fake and will com really soon.
@ Hilla, the reason for the release date being changed was due to the fact that WB didnt have any hit movies coming out next summer, not because of Twilight. Twilight was suppose to come out in December but was changed to November when the Harry Potter movie was officially moved.
@ chitic, its not fake, its official Harry Potter is coming out next summer. No joke here.
I just read a article on EW.com last week and it said that the four Twilight books have sold 18 million copies while the seven Harry Potter books have sold over 400 million. So I think Twilight was screaming for joy when Harry Potter was moved and even more thrilled that the Harry Potter trailer would be before their movie as well. I’m going to guess that Twilight will earn around 30 million opening weekend, any other takers want to take a guess.
Then re-read what you wrote.
I used my initals for my name Rob. My first name is Theresa. So, I believe “bud” is slightly inappropriate. Maybe YOU should re-read what I wrote. Note the word “friendly.” I guess you couldn’t read the sarcastic undertone. You take things too personally!
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809791044/trailer is great the new trailer
I have not read all the responses, so , forgive me if someone else has mentioned this… Does anyone have the guts not to go to the opening of HBP. I think we might get WB attention for changing the opening date just to try and make more money. Just the opening day. It would really make a statement. They would freak out if opening day was a flop. HP fans , dont have it in them , I think. It would be cool though.
One of the primary reasons given for the delayed release was the fact that Daniel Radcliffe was going to be in New York starring in Equus at the time. There were some dubious feelings about publicity re: the adult content of the play (including Radcliffe’s onstage nudity) overlapping with the opening of the latest Potter film. Just Google “radcliffe equus potter delay” and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
